Watch the Land of Fire and Ice come to life in the winter light.

Is there anything like winter in Iceland? The sun creeps lower in the sky, occasional snowfall dusts Reykjavík, and the aurora borealis dances among the stars. This quick tour hits all the highlights, from the staggered columns of the Hallgrímskirkja church to the sparse expanse of West Iceland on the extension. And while we can’t guarantee you’ll see them, we’ll do everything we can to give you your moment with the northern lights.

Reykjavík

Day 2: Arrival in Reykjavík

Included meal: Welcome lunch

Welcome to Iceland! Meet your fellow travelers during a welcome lunch, then take the rest of the day to explore at your leisure. If you’re feeling peckish, check out Hlemmur Mathöll, a bus-station-turned-food-hall serving everything from Italian gelato to Danish smørrebrød, or open-faced sandwiches.

Alternatively, add an excursion—and what better way to decompress after an international flight than with a soak in the Blue Lagoon? The milky waters of this geothermal bath are prized for their restorative properties; go for a float and let them ease your post-travel tension.

To be honest, I didn’t fully know what to expect on this trip. I haven’t been on a trip with a tour guide and everything planned out but was excited to try something new. Oh my goodness. I don’t think I’ll ever travel independently moving forward. There was one thing that stood...
